WHO II BOSS p

When the people learn the exact
truth and facts about the possibilities of
settling the debt, and see how vain the
Legislatures attempts are to obstruct the
decree Of the United States Supreme
Court making the coupon validtopsy taxes
with, they will naturally conclude that the
bondholders are nothing TO the people Of
Virginia, whether they are enemies Of
the State" or friends The Toint is
simply, are we to acknowledge the au-
thority of the politicians and go on fight
ing the United States with vain tricks
that are broken up by the time they are
tried
The question is who is the power in all
this business
Are the politicians to boss the people
OF are the people to obey the laws of the
United States.
The fact is that we are obliged to obey
the laws of the United States, since Ap-
pomattox Court House, and We DO not
see the use of taking an ante.war view Of
the situation.
This is simply the truth, twist It as you
may.

the existence of a Republican House of Rep
resentatives. To the committee of that
House Dr. Fletcher has revealed something OF
the internal rottenness of the political man
agement of the great benevoience over which
he nominally presides. But it is evident that
he has not told all he knows by great
deal. The people will expect him now to
tell the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth. This he must do, and
he can do it now without exposing the poor
unfortunates of that chief benevolence of the
State to worse treatment than that they have
been compelled to suffer. DR.. Fletcher has
the opportunity of his life at present. Let
him give the Legislature and the people all
the facts within his knowledge, and his best
Judgment as to the remedies for the abuses.
His personal and professional character and
future demand this, and the public will honor
him for doing his full duty.

roost. On Saturday there was presented to
the Auditor Of State for payment twenty
thousand dollars worth of the new insane
hospital Estimate warrants" which were not
paid when issued for want of funds in the State
treasury, the funds, possibly, being sout of
town." These Estimates" were held by various
banks, the Indiana National, the Bank of
Commerce, and others. This is another of
the Journals Campaign lies We stated
that there was more than one hundred thou
sand dollars worth Of this paper afoat, hawked
about the streets and in the banks, sold at a
discount by the men who had done the work
for the State. The Sentinel grew red in the
face denying this Campaign lie," and said

rowed to Finish the Stated house and these
new asylums." But here turns up 500, 900
of the very paper, and "yet there's more to
follow" We again repeat that every single
statement made in the Journal during the
